Q: What's Cote de Pablo been doing since she left "NCIS"?

So far, Cote de Pablo has been dabbling in other TV (including the 2015 miniseries "The Dovekeepers" and the failed 2016 pilot "Prototype") and in film (namely the 2015 drama "The 33" and the upcoming indie pic "Seneca").

But to most, she's still the artist formerly known as Ziva David in nine seasons of "NCIS" from 2005 to 2013. Thus, her most interesting project is the TV series she's developing with fellow "NCIS" departee Michael Weatherly. (Weatherly, of course, played Anthony DiNozzo in "NCIS" from 2003 to 2016.)

De Pablo and Weatherly will serve as executive producers of "MIA," about a newly minted homicide detective struggling "to keep her personal life from interfering in her first undercover assignment in Miami."

No cast has been announced yet, which at least leaves open the hope that de Pablo will also be playing the detective.

It's less likely that Weatherly will have a screen role as well, only because he's busier at the moment. He's had a bit more post-"NCIS" success than de Pablo, including another hit series that's still ongoing -- CBS's "Bull."

However, his network bosses might be willing to adjust "Bull's" schedule to give him some extra time for the new show, since "MIA" will be on CBS as well.

I should stress here that the show is still just "in development," meaning it may never see the light of day. But with these two famous names attached, and with the amount of buzz it's generating already, it's a strong prospect.
